ForwardTransrectal Ultrasound of the Prostate (2019)
The Urologist is uniquely qualified by training and experience to perform and interpret transrectal ultrasound of the prostate (TRUS). TRUS performed by the Urologist enhances patient care by providing a minimally invasive procedure that gives real-time information for a rapid and accurate diagnosis. Urologists desire to maintain their high degree of proficiency in performing, interpreting and documenting this imaging study. This video re-enforces the concepts and techniques required to perform high-quality transrectal ultrasound examinations of the prostate.
